With a large amount of bamboo as raw materials and the joint efforts of the whole village, although the collapsed house was not repaired perfectly, it was still habitable.
Later, due to the long-term mountain closure, the villagers of Huaxi Village could not seek more food from outside, so everyone began to spontaneously look for something to eat in the village's rivers and mountains - of course, if each family had food, they would also eat more or less. If you share less food, you have to make or hunt more food for everyone as a "reward" for eating the food for free.
Of course, during this period, it was not that no one had some evil intentions and wanted to take some food for themselves.
Fortunately, most of the villagers in Huaxi Village are very kind, and even if there are any moths, they will be "destroyed" quickly.
The most important thing is that Su Qingluan understands that as long as the food is relatively sufficient and everyone is not hungry and red-eyed, there will be no uncontrollable riots.
Fortunately, because a considerable number of people in the village had worked in "Suji" before, and these people were basically young and middle-aged laborers, these families received generous wages and various "welfare subsidies". Not too worried about food and clothing.
One of the benefits derived from this incident is that Su Qingluan unknowingly gained the prestige of ordinary people with stomachache in Huaxi Village through the previous incident, so she originally thought of organizing a few familiar "Su Ji" workers to go to the river While fishing, she didn't want to unknowingly have the whole village listening to her plan.
For a moment, Su Qingluan couldn't help but feel as if she had returned to the days when she worked at Suji, so she arranged for the women to be responsible for weaving fishing nets and preparing the daily meals, while the men went to hunt in the mountains or cast nets to catch fish by the river. .
In this way, the whole village cooperated and helped each other, and finally got through this difficult winter.
And Su Qingluan also learned later in the spring that not to mention the nearby small villages, even the slightly more prosperous towns, all starved to death because of the heavy snow that collapsed their houses, or the lack of food due to being unable to go out. Few people.
Of course, this major snow disaster caused another edict to be issued, but obviously the effect this time was far less than the first time.
After all, the Sinji Edict would only appear to have weight if it was issued only once and measures were taken immediately. After the edict was issued every day, Su Qingluan was still under high pressure and heavy taxes, which reminded Su Qingluan of the lawyer's notice letter that was spoiled in his previous life, and was later regarded as a useless piece of paper.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Su Qingluan has traveled to this world for more than two years. A lot has happened in the past two years.
"Su Ji", in the second year of its cooperation with Xie Mansion, Su Qingluan planned to open the store directly to the capital. Unexpectedly, starting from the second year, the situation in the capital was not stable. It was not a chaos of war every day, but there was always panic among some people.
Of course, ordinary small stall vendors don’t have this feeling. It’s the people from the Xie Mansion who are pushing back and forth about opening the store. Su Qingluan naturally hopes that the business will be bigger and better, so naturally he has to ask, thank you The government just said that the situation was unstable.
Su Qingluan naturally did not think that he could casually find out the secrets of the high-level officials in the capital, but there were many clues that could explain from the side that although the situation in the capital was not as tense as the troops approaching the city, the situation was indeed very tight.
One of the most intuitive evidences is that Xie Zian, the "dandy young master", was originally taken back the first winter when Su Qingluan traveled through time. However, he never expected to see this young master again in the spring of the following year.
Then there is Shopkeeper Liang. He has always had a wide circle of friends and has contacts with people from all walks of life. Naturally, he also knows a lot of traveling businessmen and literati from the capital.
Although Su Qingluan didn't deliberately listen to the corner, he heard several times that people from the Imperial Guard were arresting people all over the capital, and no one knew exactly who was being arrested. In short, it made people panic.
Next was Mu Xingzhi. Although he still looked sick and frail, Su Qingluan knew that there were more and more "strangers" around him.
Most of these people are taciturn - at least that's how they are when Su Qingluan is around.
And she still maintains her original principles: don't ask too many questions, don't look too much, maintain her own sense of proportion, and don't have too much curiosity.
After all, experience tells her that in any story, curiosity is the first step towards committing suicide.
Since the second year of time travel, Su Qingluan's sketching has been almost taught - after all, this kind of "sketching" is mainly based on the skill of realism and does not require art-related influence. Therefore, after reaching the level of character sketching, Su Qingluan had nothing to teach.
All that remains is to practice more on your own.
However, if you don't pursue the exquisiteness of texture and simply want to express the accuracy of proportions, you don't even need to study the technology for such a long time.
During this period, Su Qingluan would still visit Mu Xingzhi frequently, mostly to borrow and return books.
Fortunately, relying on these books, Su Qingluan can now read traditional Chinese characters much faster and more accurately than at the beginning.
However, she still couldn't stand many unfamiliar classics. There was no need to take the imperial examination anyway, so Su Qingluan simply indulged herself in reading "casual books" such as storybooks and travel notes that interested her.
Su Qingluan was already thirteen years old when she first traveled through time. Although she was still in the growth stage, she had passed the period of crazy height growth. Now she is only a few inches taller than she was at the beginning.
In sharp contrast to her is Su Xuanhe. I don’t know if this kid ate chemical fertilizer or something. When Su Qingluan first arrived at this house, he was a head shorter than Su Qingluan, and his head was as sharp as Su Qingluan’s. Shoulders, but in just over two years, the now nine-year-old boy is only half a head shorter than Su Qingluan!
Su Qingluan can be sure that in a year or two, this kid will surpass him.
However, probably because the time spent in school increased, Su Xuanhe became more stable than the gangster he was at the beginning. Although he was still naughty, he also took the initiative to help his parents with some housework.
The little girl Su Xueyan is not very tall, but she is only five years old and has not yet grown up. She is still just a cute little dumpling of Xueyu.
However, compared to the little bun who was a bit vague when speaking at the beginning, Su Xueyan is now able to express what she wants to say very smartly and fluently - but from Su Qingluan's point of view, this is the result of years of quarrels between her and her brother. "Skill Blessing".
But Su Qingluan also discovered that although this little girl was not old, she was very smart, especially in arithmetic. Several times Yang and Su Guangfu took her to the town to buy things, and she was the first one. Calculate the number of coppers that should be paid.
Another time, Su Qingluan made a mistake in accounting, and it was this little sister who discovered it before she checked.
So Su Qingluan simply sent Su Xueyan to Mr. Xu Kekuan to learn accounting. Because the old man was also very good at calligraphy, he could also learn to write by the way.
